**Welcome to the Paris Poetry Circle!** Now in its 30th year, our English-language poetry reading group continues to bring together lovers of verse and thought in the heart of Paris. 🎉 Join us this Wednesday evening for a gathering of minds and voices as we read and reflect on poems that move, challenge, and illuminate — all shared over some quiet drinks. 🫖☕️🥤🧉🍹 We seek poems that are clear yet profound, sweet or serious — those that carry us forward and help us make sense of the world. We steer clear of the obscure or needlessly complex; we value clarity over cleverness, sincerity over show. Each poem is read anonymously to begin with, without revealing the author, allowing space for open, unbiased interpretation. We then explore it together — carefully, curiously — to uncover what lies beneath the surface. After the meeting, we write a letter of thanks to the living poets we have read at the group, to thank and congratulate them. We revere all the poets of this world. The group is small — usually six or seven thoughtful individuals, up to a maximum of ten. The conversation is warm, intelligent, and grounded. There is no performance, no pressure to contribute, and no cost. Only a shared pursuit of insight, beauty, and fellowship. If that resonates with you, we’d love to welcome you. Bring a poem, or simply bring yourself. 📚✨

Un atelier d'écriture créative pas tout à fait comme les autres ! Ici, on accorde une place d'honneur à la magie, à l''intuition, à l'inconscient, aux émotions et surtout, au pouvoir du symbole de nous mouvoir... en gros, à l'invisible et à tout ce qui dépasse le simple raisonnement afin de toucher à une écriture plus vraie, plus ancrée, plus alignée. Le Arcanes du Tarot, dans le cadre de cet atelier, servent d'outils d'inspiration poétique, narrative et/ou introspective. Tu aimes écrire ? Tu as des projets d'écriture en développement ou en suspension ? Tu as des blocages lors de l'écriture ? Tu te sens seule lorsque tu écris ? Tu écris de la poésie, de la fiction, de l'auto-fiction, ou tu tiens un journal intime ? Si l'une de ces questions te parle, alors ça tombe bien : tu es au bon endroit ! Au programme : ❓ Le thème et la question du jour 🃏 Tirages ✍🏻 Écriture guidée Viens t'inspirer et peut-être même trouver ta voix ou... ta voie. Ou les deux ! ;) À apporter : 📒🖋️ : carnet et stylo. Et c'est tout ! Je recommande vivement à 🚫NE PAS apporter son ordi - l'écriture manuscrite ✍🏻 est la meilleure façon de se connecter à soi-même. D'ailleurs, un des buts de cet atelier est d'offrir une pause des écrans ! À très vite ! Natalia ☺️

Lyric writing weekly group practice. A few object writing rounds to start, get our reps in — a favorite from the canon, Write Better Lyrics by P. Pattinson.* Followed by other exercises. I adapt the program depending on who shows up. *Object writing : a noun picked through a random word generator, a 10 min timer to delve into our sensory imagination and free-flow with this prompt. We then take turn sharing.

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
